Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The use of clothing, a bag, shoes and so on does not affect the lawfulness of the money which was earned through permissible ways.

These are nothing but whispers that you must repel and not give in to them, and you should seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the devil.

Allah knows best.
